ST.. LOUIS, June 1.-THE World and
Post Dispatch balloon was cut loose at
4:26 to-day, at Sportsman's Park and
after skimming just over the roofs of
very small houses in the vicinity made
a dip for the earth and then a caper
for grove of tall trees, but two bags
of ballast being hastily sprinkled out
the monster lunged into the upper
space and in Il few minutes appeared
as Respondent speck among the fleecy
clouds, racing towards the East. y
vast cOncourse of people gathered at
the park long before noon and patiently
awaited the ascension. The ball Don
was filled with gas from city main,
requiring 10000 cubic feet to
distend its folds to the salts
faction of the aeronaut and yet
falling 5000 feet short of full
desire. In consequence much ballast
had to be left out. In emptying this,
A. Z. Moore, the aerenaut, was Sc
verely injured, two fingers of his left
hand being badly lacerated. In the car
are four men-A. Z. Moore, aeronaut,
Prof. J. G. Doughty, photographer,
Edward Duffy, World correspondent
and Prof. II. Allen Hazen, of the Sig
nal Service Bureau. Although lacking
sand ballast there is sufficient weight
in freight, such as-S0 pounds of water.
100 pounds of provisions, heavy cloth
ing, photographer and Observers in
struments. Twenty carrier pigeons from
different points in Missouri were taken
ten of which will return with messages
this evening and the others will be lib
Grated during the day tomorrow.
Prof. HaZen says the current of air to
an altitude of 1000 feet is northeast
and at 5000 feet it is almost directly
east. 1t is within the power of the
aeronaut to ascend or descend to these
currents as he desires and thereby
choose his course. They will avoid the
great lakes and by tomorrow evening
expect to land in Massachusetts, or
New Hampshire.

Mitchell Knocked out.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The s., 900
and championship of the world light
weight prize fight between Jim Carney
the English champion and Jimmie
Mitchell, of Philadelphia, came off last
night. Cut kid gloves were used. In
the seventh and last round Carney
opened by planting heavy left-hander
on Mitchell's right cheek bone that
staggered him. Then Carney jumped
at him and let go right and left on his
face and body, knocking Mitchell down.
Mitchell being unable to come to time,
the fight was given to Carney. The
fight lasted forty-two minutes. It was
the first time Mitchell has ever been
knocked out. He says the sensation is
something beyond description. Car
ney was apparently not injured.

that ever attempted to run west of the
Allegheny mountains with crude pc
troleum as the only fuel in its IOcomo-

train west on the Pennsylvania rail-
road that arrived in this city last
night. 1t came through from Altoona
on time, and it came without a stick of
timber or a scuttle of coal to make
steam for its motor. The experiment
was a complete success and splendid
time was made, and there was no an
noyance from smoke or cinders. The
process is the invention of the Russian
scientist and DIR. Dudley, of Altoona
shops, and has been developing slowly
but surely. The second section of the
